Not sure if this should be a happy thought or a moan, for now it is going down as a happy thought. After much debating inside myself, I finally came out to a person at work as being bisexual (something which I have struggled for the last 17 years of my life to accept myself, let alone tell anyone else) and he has been very supportive. Plus, I have never told anyone this but a few years ago I was finally diagnosed formally as being on the very low mild end of the autistic spectrum (cannot process emotions properly, hate changes to routines, etc) and told a manager at work because I was moaning about them changing my schedule around on me last minute again. He also found out about me being bipolar, so I feel a bit better now that I have been open with people about myself.
I wish I could be brave enough to tell my family all this.

In my opinion someone's sexuality should not be a problem and shouldn’t be seen as such just remember if people see it as a problem then the problem is with them not you. Mark personally I could not give a hoot about someones sexuality, I personally judge a person on what value's they have in life if there nice and kind then I want them in my life if not I now just say bye bye.
What I'm trying to say if someone judges you on just being you then do you really want to know that person but saying that it may come as a shock to some family members then again it may not. My advice on family members is give them time to adjust after all you it has taken you the last 17 years of your life to finally accept yourself. Speaking as a Mother I do not care who my children chose to love or date as long as there happy and treat each other with respect that is what truly matter's to me.
The best advice I can give you Mark is be kind to yourself and take it day by day, remember baby steps Mark. If someone has a problem with you for whatever the reason is then let that be there problem and don't allow it to become yours (taken my own advice here
) you know my sister has a problem with me and it took me 48 years to walk away from her and I suspect she still has a problem but the main difference now is the problem is hers and it was the best decision I have ever made saying good bye to her negative attitude.
Mark remember when and if you tell your family just do it in your own time and if you need to talk you know what to do.
I'm so proud of you for accepting who you are and all I can say is well done.
